Bruichladdich Port Charlotte Scottish Barley10 year old 50%
Tasting Note
65% First Fill American Whisky casks, 10% Second Fill American Whisky casks and 25% Second Fill French Red Wine casks.
Tasted: June 2018
A briny and peaty nose with sweet barley, grilled nuts, menthol, dunnage, coffee and hints of dried winey red fruit. It might be heavily peated and the peat becomes increasingly manurey but the balance is very impressive.
The palate opens with the dusty, sooty peat with hints of dried prune, raisin, raspberry and a touch of bitter chocolaty tannins. The heavy, oily and tarry peat arrives on the middle along with subtle salt, coffee, fish oils and briny notes. The winey notes return on the finish with the coffee, dark chocolate and earthy peat notes lingering. Rounded and very impressive.
